Timber Harvest

In revision; please be patient

In 1994, Dr. Harding's chapter on threats to temperate forest ecosystems in his book on biodiversity in British Columbia (see below) influenced federal and provincial forest management policies.  

Dr. Harding has published numerous book chapters and peer-review scientific articles and conference presentations on forest-related topics.

Dr. Harding has enjoyed ecology tours to tropical forests in the Amazon Basin of Peru, Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia, and Africa.
